US President Donald Trump said Friday that he urged Israel to support a ceasefire with Hezbollah, after a renewed truce was reached between the two sides, APA reports.
Trump said in a phone interview with NBC News that he spoke with Israel earlier Friday and encouraged them to agree to a ceasefire, but declined to say whether he had spoken directly with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“It’s a positive,” Trump said. “It’s a little icing on the cake,” he added, referring to the memorandum of understanding signed by the United States and Iran to end the war.
Trump also touted his relationship with Netanyahu.
“I’ve always been good with Bibi,” he said. “You just gotta calm down sometimes and use your head.”
